With the bulkhead removed from around the galley, your first impression when you step into the salon is of an unbroken, airy expanse. The absence of bulkheads between the cockpit and the wraparound windshield makes the salon seem immense. With the galley and a buffet/bar aft on one level and the entertainment area and helm raised slightly, it fulfills Norberto Ferretti’s goal to “bring the outdoors into the yacht.”
When the window by the galley is hinged up and the sliding doors are moved aside, even the shaded cockpit is included in this sweep of salon. One particularly impressive feature is the one-piece curved windshield unmarred by the usual support mullions, and if you don’t think glass bends, consider that it was perfectly flat before being sealed into place.
The midsection of the salon has a leather couch facing an oversize wraparound settee. The glass table expands for dining or contracts to turn the area into a lounge to enjoy the pop-up TV to port.
On our test boat, salon décor was a mix of white leather upholstery, pale ash woodwork, gray stitched leather paneling and chocolate fiberglass sections. Neutral and very appealing, it underlined that this is an adult yacht and not one for kids armed with Crayons.
